Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) are critical for global efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C and enhance climate resilience, but finance for NDC implementation is currently woefully inadequate. Together, governments will need to take a variety of actions to shift and raise trillions of dollars in finance toward the NDC targets by 2030. This report highlights the tools and instruments available to governments as they seek to undertake this task
